But there could be a higher-end model of the LEX720 which could turn out to be the true flagship smartphone of the company. Previous rumors have said that the phone could have a version with 8GB of RAM. So, with SD821 and 8GB RAM inside, the upcoming LeEco phone could turn out be the most powerful handset of 2016.
